Chapter 10: The Four Elephants Battle Array
As the so-called layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway, most of these onlookers come to see the excitement, including the martial artists of the Iron Sword Gate and the Four Horse Gang, few of them can see the danger and subtle changes, only Qi An, after all, he is now also a real martial arts realm, his eyesight and reaction are much improved compared to before, and many unknown details have not escaped his eyes.
In Qi An's opinion, Zhao Tiejian is indeed the strongest person on the field, much stronger than Long Wu, the leader of the sand bandits who chased him before, and although Ma Banshan is a lot worse than Zhao Tiejian, he is also above Long Wu, and the worst are the other three Ma family brothers, probably the same grade as Long Wu.
Of course, Qi An has just been promoted to Martial Sect, and he doesn't know how much his strength has improved, but he probably compared and estimated, it will definitely not be a problem to deal with Long Wu, and he can fight with Ma Banshan, but he is not sure about Zhao Tiejian.
It must be explained here that the newly promoted martial arts sect is not necessarily the bottom of the martial arts sect, which has a lot to do with their respective talents, many geniuses can cross the border to fight, Qi An has even heard that some powerful peak martial arts sects can fight with monks without defeat, it can be seen that the realm is not absolute, and the old martial arts sect is not necessarily stronger than the new martial arts sect, the same martial arts sect, the difference in strength may be very large, for example, Zhao Tiejian alone can fight the four brothers of the Ma family alone, obviously not the same grade.
Take Qi An himself, on the surface, he is just a new martial sect, compared with those old martial arts sects, he must have lost many years of accumulation and precipitation, but he has natural divine power, and he has a miraculous self-recovery ability, if he really fights, he can definitely crush most of the martial arts masters, even if compared with Zhao Tiejian, a strong man in the martial arts, he may be suppressed in a short time, but as long as Zhao Tiejian can't completely eliminate him, he has the possibility of slowly reversing the situation, and it is not yet known who will kill the deer.
Getting back to the point, looking at the field again, Zhao Tiejian flew up and down with a big sword, seemingly clumsy and clever, not impatient or impatient, steady and steady, the moves were simple, and the speed didn't seem to be very fast, but he was able to keep it without leaking, and let the four brothers of the Ma family attack and fight wildly, he was still at ease, and it was obvious that he had reached the realm of lifting weights and being skillful.
And Ma Banshan's body is dexterous, the double hook is fluttering, flickering left and right, fast as the wind, obviously not weak, and then with the three brothers, the offensive is extremely fierce, but he has never been able to break through Zhao Tiejian's defensive circle.
The situation on the field seems to be a draw, but if it continues like this, it is obviously more beneficial to Zhao Tiejian, because he has less strength and less consumption, and when the momentum of the Ma brothers is over, the lack of stamina is the beginning of his counterattack.
couldn't take Zhao Tiejian for a while, and the Ma brothers didn't show the slightest anxiety, after all, they had only fought three months ago, and they had a deep understanding of the power of this broken iron sword, but they came prepared this time, and they had already received guidance from a master, so with Ma Banshan's order, the situation on the field changed instantly.
"Formation!"
The four brothers of the Ma family retreated at the same time, no longer rushing forward in a swarm, but always maintaining the same distance, circling around Zhao Tiejian. At the same time, there are also some more rules for attacking with moves, following a certain law, you advance and I retreat, and the four of them cooperate with each other, which instantly speeds up Zhao Tiejian's rhythm, forcing him to be clumsy and embarrassed.
Zhao Tiejian quickly realized that something was wrong, and shouted, "What kind of demon method are you using?"
Ma Banshan replied with a sneer: "This is not a demon law, but the Four Elephants Battle Formation of Qiyun Mountain, which is a great gift carefully prepared for you by our four brothers!"
"Qi Yunshan?" Hearing this name, Zhao Tiejian's face changed greatly, and he shouted angrily: "It turns out that your Four Horse Gang is actually Qi Yunshan's eagle dog?"
"Are you surprised? You are not a dog raised by the Humble Sword Sect?" Ma Banshan sneered: "Do you think that you can run rampant in Qinghe Town with the support of the Humble Sword Gate? But you didn't expect that the four of us brothers are not idle people! To tell you the truth, our four brothers have been accepted as disciples by Qi Yunshan a few years ago, and have been passed on the innate cultivation exercises, and your Humble Sword Sect is against me Qi Yunshan, it is simply looking for death!"
Zhao Tiejian roared angrily: "If you want Zhao to die, it depends on whether your Ma family brother has that ability!"
Zhao Tiejian waved the big iron sword with one hand, and with the other hand, he took out an object and threw it above his head, and saw a paper crane rising up, fluttering its wings and flying into the distance.
Seeing the paper crane fly away, Ma Banshan's face sank, and he said fiercely: "Want to ask for help from the Humble Sword Gate? I'm afraid you can't wait for the moment when the reinforcements arrive! Brothers, work hard, kill this surnamed Zhao first!"
The crowd of onlookers saw Zhao Tiejian throwing out a paper crane and flying away like a spirit, and they all exclaimed: "Immortal method! This is the immortal method performed by immortals! There are immortals behind the master of Zhao Sect!"
Qi An knew that the paper crane that flew away was not an immortal method, but a simple messenger made by the monk, which could transmit some simple messages, it seemed that it was just like what Ma Banshan said, Zhao Tiejian was relying on this paper crane to ask for help from the clumsy sword gate behind him, but he didn't know what the clumsy sword gate was, and Qi Yunshan behind the Ma brothers, it shouldn't be simple.
In fact, the Humble Sword Sect and Qiyun Mountain are both small sects of Xiuzhen on the eastern border of Mozhou, and they each control a number of martial arts gangs, and they are fighting openly and secretly. For mortals and martial artists, they are high-ranking cultivators, but for behemoths of the level of the Eight Great Palaces, they are not even farts, and they can only be powerful in the county and towns, stirring up the wind and rain.
It's just that mortal martial artists have already reached the end of their cultivation to the Martial Sect with the acquired exercises, and if they want to go further to become a monk, they can only hope to find the innate exercises and a large number of resources to continue their cultivation. And the innate martial arts cannot exist in the gangs of the rivers and lakes, and they must take refuge in the Xiuzhen sect in order to be taught, so even the innate martial arts sects such as Zhao Tiejian and the Ma brothers must also be subordinated to a certain Xiuzhen organization and work for it in order to continue to be promoted.
Obviously, the Iron Sword Sect and the Four Horse Gang are not just a competition between two gangs in the rivers and lakes as they appear on the surface, but a wrestling between the two Xiuzhen Sects' Humble Sword Sect and Qi Yunshan. Before, it was the Iron Sword Gate that had the upper hand, and Zhao Tiejian could still win with one enemy and four enemies, but when the Ma brothers used the Four Elephants Battle Formation of Qiyun Mountain, Zhao Tiejian couldn't resist it. Even if Zhao Tiejian released a paper crane to ask for help, but the clumsy sword gate was thousands of miles away, and the distant water could not save the near fire, and when the reinforcements arrived, the daylily was cold.
This is obviously not a competition, Ma Banshan has already had a murderous intent after reporting the backstage, relying on the Four Elephants Battle Array to gain the upper hand, and the killing moves under his hands are frequent, vowing to take Zhao Tiejian's life, and Zhao Tiejian has done his best, and is still played by the mysterious Four Elephants Battle Array, the situation is dangerous, and the Ma brothers will break through the defense line at any time.
"This four-elephant battle array is a bit interesting! Zhao Tiejian is about to be defeated!" Qi An sat on the ground and muttered, watching it with relish, he didn't expect this so-called four-elephant battle array to be so good, the people were still those four people, but once they cooperated according to the laws of Mo and formed a battle array, the combat power more than doubled, and Zhao Tiejian was completely suppressed in an instant.
As everyone knows, these four elephant battle arrays are Qi Yunshan's housekeeping skills, not anyone can easily get it, the Ma brothers joined Qi Yunshan and worked for it for several years, and spent a lot of money to get this set of battle array cultivation methods, usually not used at all, only sacrificed at this critical moment after careful consideration, and had long had the intention of eradicating the Iron Sword Gate in one fell swoop.
Sure enough, as Qi An said, Zhao Tiejian had just resisted a round of killing, the old force had gone, the new force had not been born, and he was snatched further by Ma Banshan, and the double hook was sticky to the area, and he immediately picked up the big iron sword, so that Zhao Tiejian's middle door was exposed. Ma Banshan was also very simple, directly kicked in the chest, kicked Zhao Tiejian's tower-like body away, crossed a parabola in mid-air, and fell heavily five zhang away, which happened to be the edge of the onlookers, frightening the group of people to disperse.
Zhao Tiejian struggled to sit up, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and opened his mouth to threaten: "Ma Banshan, I am a disciple of the Humble Sword Sect, if you kill me, the Humble Sword Sect will never give up!"
Ma Banshan held a double hook in his hand and approached with a cruel smile: "You dare to threaten me when you are dying?" Even if the Humble Sword Gate wants to avenge you, Qi Yunshan behind me is not a vegetarian, naturally someone will come forward to settle the matter, at most it is just to compensate for some losses, today you are certain to die, and the king of heaven and Lao Tzu will not be able to save you!"
On the other side, those strong men of the Iron Sword Gate saw that the door master was kicked away, and hurriedly rushed over, shouting: "Quick! protect the door master!"
The Ma brothers also roared, and ordered their subordinates: "Quickly kill Zhao Tiejian and expel the Iron Sword Gate from Qinghe Town!"
For a time, there was a scuffle, a mess, dozens of martial artists Ping Pong fought indiscriminately, frightening those townspeople who watched the excitement of chickens and dogs, scattered and fled, all for fear of being injured by swords.
At this time, there were two horses galloping from the west in the distance, white hair and black hooves, very divine horses, immediately knights with exquisite figures, white clothes, gauze covering the face, covering the mouth and nose, only the eyes were exposed, faintly revealing the contours of the facial features, the face was beautiful, the complexion was fair, and they were two and the maiden. The older ones were only seventeen or eighteen years old, and the younger ones were only fifteen or sixteen.
"Get out of the way, you untouchables!"
Before the person arrived, the younger woman in white let out a coquettish sound, the volume was not very loud, but everyone could hear it clearly, as if it was ringing in their ears, making everyone fighting on the field suddenly stunned, and involuntarily stopped moving.
